Police interrogation recordings released by the Times of Malta show businessman Yorgen Fenech admitted to initially greenlighting the 2017 assassination of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia.

Smear campaigns. Blackmail. Surveillance of an 11yo. Steward Health Care was meant to serve low-income communities. Instead, as its hospitals suffered, executives launched surveillance operations, totaling over $7 million. My latest for @GlobeSpotlight 👇 bostonglobe.com/2024/07/01/m…
